Carl Linnaeus: The Dragon Slayer.
"In one of his autobiographies, Linnaeus describes his pride in his discovery of the fraud: “The dragon in Hamburg had fooled all curieusa in the world until Archiater Linnaeus arrived and found him made by art”. In another one of his autobiographies, he proudly claims that “he was the first who discovered from the teeth that this monster was not by nature but an artis miraculum.” This satisfaction at disproving their existence suggests a deeper desire to disprove dragons."

La baleine, miroir maritime de ... la panthère médiévale.
"selon Barthélemy l’Anglais, [l'haleine de la baleine] a une odeur
d’ambre. En Occident, la baleine est associée aux bonnes odeurs, elle
attire les poissons par sa douce haleine pour les avaler, un peu à l’instar de la
panthère des bestiaires."

Rulers and Raptors: Falcons in Courtly Europe, 1600–1793, by Nadir Weber
"By paying close attention to the birds’ life trajectories, Rulers and Raptors also shines a spotlight on a large network of agents, including rural bird catchers, bourgeois animal traders, and noble falconers at court who made the aerial spectacles possible. Focusing on these peoples’ interactions with the raptors, the book proposes to rethink early modern human–animal relations, showing that falcons escaped clear distinctions between wild and domestic, nature and civilization."
